While Mr Wan, his wife and their little
daughter were in Europe, they decided to drive three days to Germany. His
little daughter had never travelled at night before. She was scared the first
night in the car, with the deep darkness outside.
"Where are we going, Daddy?" "To
your uncle's house in Germany."
"Jave you been to his house before?"
"No."
"Do you know the way?" "Kind of, we will read the map."
"Do you know how to read the map?" "Yes,
we will get therc safely."
"Where are we going to cat if we get
hungry before arriving?" "We can stop at a restaurant if we get
hungry."
"Do you know if there are restaurants on
the way?"
"Yes, there are."
"Do you know where?" "No, but
we will be able to find some."
The
same dialogue repeated a few times during the first night and second night. But
on the third night, his daughter was quiet. He couldn't help wondering why she
was not asking the questions anymore.
"Dear,
do you know where we are going?" "Germany, to Uncle's house."
"Do you know how we are getting
there?" "No,"
"Then why aren't you asking me anymore?"
"Because Daddy is driving."
Because Daddy is driving. That answer from his
little girl gave Mr. Wan strength(力量)for many
years after,whenever he had questions and fears(恐惧)about his life journey.
